Old spices can lose their fragrance and clump together, indicating expiration. However, before discarding them, you can revive these spices by heating them gently in a saucepan until they become aromatic again. Once cooled, they can be stored in their original jars. Besides toasting, expired spices can also flavor oils for cooking or dipping, providing culinary versatility. If some spices remain unrevived after toasting, they still can be repurposed rather than thrown away, offering a sustainable approach to spice usage.
Breathing new life into tired spices is as easy as adding the powder or whole spice into a saucepan over low heat on the stovetop.
Once the spices are aromatic, let them cool completely before placing them into a container. Store it in a cool, dark place to help keep it fresh.
